I just watched this video today, Trump gives a passionate speech, at the start of his speech Trump makes the claim that we treat illegal immigrants better than we treat our veterans.

This is true. Look at the healthcare we give to illegal immigrants
I know, even Americans don't get free healthcare unless the are very poor, that's why at least 45,000 Americans die every year because they can not afford ongoing healthcare.

If that's true, does that mean we should treat our illegal immigrants worse, or just our veterans better? If all America does with this information is treat illegal immigrants worse, I doubt most veterans will be overjoyed.

You must miss the point, the point is the money that is going to illegal immigrants could be going to our veterans.

Money going to almost anything whatsoever could be going to our veterans. Talking about illegal immigrants rather than, say, the money we spend on fighting wars or helping the rich just pushes the buttons of authoritarian personalities--in other words, most Trump supporters and Town Hall readers--because they feel aggression toward illegals, who they tend to view as "un-American deviants" rather than as fellow human beings in vulnerable situations.

You miss the obvious point that money going to illegal immigrants are a bad thing.

Right... helping the rich, I didn't want to bailout wall street. We can tax corporations more, I'm fine with that, but those taxes aren't going to welfare for illegals. The point is we shouldn't be giving any healthcare to illegals.

They are un-American, because they aren't American. They are human beings but just as America doesn't spend its money helping children in Africa, why do we spend it on illegals who just so happens to be able to break into our country?

Let's talk about fair, why do we help the illegals here? Just because they are here? If we are going to do a international welfare program, there are plenty of more people that need our help.

Most Americans do not care about other Americans, if they did they would not stand by while tens of thousands of their fellow Americans died every year because they could not afford ongoing health care.
Even if all the illegals went home tomorrow those Americans would still be dying in their tens of thousands every year.

Most Americans are un-American because all they think about is themselves, self, self and self again and if there's anything left, self again, which I suppose is "the American way".

The $7 million daily going to the ISIS bombing could as well. Or the several $trillion spent on the Iraq War could've .... oh, wait.....:doh:

Then again illegals can't go to the VA.

So, your point is that all that "Support the Troops" stuff was baloney. Agreed. I said so then and was proven correct.
